The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team will
once again partner with Tops Friendly Markets and Entercom Buffalo for a
Thanksgiving turkey drive Tuesday, Nov. 24, to benefit local food pantries. The
turkey drive will take place from 6-9 a.m. in the following locations:

For every 20-pound turkey dropped off, or multiple
turkeys totaling 20 pounds, the Sabres will give away two tickets to an
upcoming game to the donor while supplies last. Tickets (maximum of four per
person) will be distributed immediately at the drop-off sites for games against
New Jersey on Dec. 15, Florida on Jan. 5, Florida on Feb. 9 and Calgary on
March 3.

All of the donated turkeys will directly benefit the
Buffalo City Mission and the Food Bank of Western New York.

The Buffalo City Mission, founded in 1917, provides
preventative, emergency and long-term recovery services to thousands of people
who are homeless or impoverished. The agency includes a women's and children's
